How do we change the source connection in OWB?

Hello,
Currently my source connection has read/write privileges. For security reason, i created read only schema in the source database.
Now i want to change my username in the source mapping.
I go to connection Explorer,
click Location
click database
Click oracle
right click on source name(existing one), click open editor.
When i click open editor, I see all the user info are grayed out. I could not change anything.
How do i change the current source connection username?
Any help is appreciated..

Hello, I have trouble changing the source connection.
My source connection name is same as before. Only DB name, schema name is changing now for source connection. Here are the steps i have done.
1. Went to control center manager and unregister the source mapping.
2. Went to Connection explorer and right click on source connection and click the open editor. change the username, password, ip address, DB name.
3. went to control center manager and re-deploy the mapping. It is not working... It says, table or view does not exists.
Is ther any other place i need to change... Somewhere i am missing..
Any help is highly appreciated..

Thanks in advance.You have to use Reports Trigger named BEFORE PARAMETER FORM and write the following sql
select sysdate into :Parameter_name from dual;
give your format mask at Parameter_name.
Hope this will help you

How can I change the source file so it is direct from external hard drive?

I am trying to make a movie on imovie of a snowboarding trip that I went on, there is around 80 to 100 gig of mp4 movies that will not fit on my computer that I have stored on my external harddrive. I had the movie half finished then found I could do no more as I had no space left in my mac. I had to delete everything and start again but I'm not doing this until I can find a way of changing the source file so I can take them direct from my external hard drive as to not use up all my computers available space. I have moved imovie to my external hard drive but it still tries to read from a movie file on my mac, how can I change that so it will read from a source file on my external hard drive, is it possible?? Can someone help me??

Hi Bengt, Thanks for your input, much appreciated.
I have a WD 1TIG hard drive and are using usb connection, is it possible to use fire wire with these? I have had trouble with a lot of the videos I Imported, once they downloaded the file in the viewer window showed up blank and when I mouse over them it places a picture of another file in the window and wont drag and drop into the movie window, like their corrupted or something? Had to delete just about all of them and start again. Also is it possible to select a bunch of videos in the viewer window as to change the dates to the correct dates? All I have been able to do is "select all" which is no help.

How can I change the source DB?

Hi all,
I have implemented an ETL with OWB where the source DB and the target DB both are Oracle.
Now I have the same source (the same structure, tables, indexes,...) DB in MSSQL. Then my question is: how can I change the connections without modifying the mappings?
I only want to change the source DB in Oracle to the same DB in MSSQL, therefore the mappings that are getting the data from Oracle then will get the data from MSSQL DB. Is it possible? or I have to create new mappings for MSSQL?
Many thanks in advance,
Victor.
p.d. hope my english is understable

Hi
To have one set of mappings that could be switched to point to one system or another would be possible using synonyms to the source, where the synonym could be refined at runtime.
You can have unbound table operators in OWB mappings that would be the name of the source item. It helps to understand a little about how the code generation works in order to do this. If you use a source table T in a schema S1, and the mappings is in schema S2, then the generated code would refer to S1.T and may even have a dblink so S1.T@dblink, an unbound table operator for table T would simply use the name T in the generated code, this lets you define T however you want in the schema where the mapping is deployed to. So T could be a synonym that points to a local Oracle table for example named S3.MYORATAB or it could be a SQLServer table referenced via the database gateway using MYSQLSERVERTAB@mysqlserverinstance
Here is a trick to quickly define an unbound table operator based on the table structure of an existing table. You can quickly create unbound table operators that look like other tables by adding an existing table which you have imported into the map, then add a new table operator and add it unbound with a name. Then map from the bound table operators in/out group to the unbound table operators in/out grp, this will define all of the attributes and datatypes, you can then delete the bound table operator to leave the unbound one.
An alternative would be to copy-paste the mappings and synchronize the source table operators with the SQLServer table definitions.

Using log and transfer, how do I change the source reel name?

I am importing/transfering native camera footage from folders on a disk that have the same card numbers, FCP is assigning the card number as the source reel. Is it a problem if there are 2 source reels named the same? ie card 1?
If so how do I change the name of the reel for footage already transferred and how do I assign a new reel name before transfer?
Thanks!

In the FCP Browser, switch to list view, then scroll the browser to see the Reel Column. You can enter the reel number there by clicking where the reel number would be and entering it. After you have done one, copy that reel text, and then select multiple clips and paste the reel number into them simultaneously.

How do I change the source disk for my backup?

Hi
I recently purchased an external hard drive so I can move all my files that I currently have on my desktop to this new drive. How do I change Time Machine to make backups from this new external drive and not from the desktop? I don't see any options to do this in the Time Machine app. I do see that this new drive is recognized/included in the backups but I don't need two backups of the same files, because as soon as I can confirm that the new drive has been backed up to Time Machine, I will delete all my files that are on the desktop to make room for other stuff. Make sense?
thanks
Nadia

Volumes on external drives (except Thunderbolt drives) are automatically added to the backup exclusion list. You can remove the exclusions in the Time Machine preference pane, and then the volumes will be backed up, provided they're in MacOS format. Volumes in other formats can't be backed up with Time Machine.

How can I change the db connection for may BC4J/JSP app

Hi,
Have you checked out the HOWTO article at:
http://technet.oracle.com/products/jdev/howtos/bc4j/howto_dynamic_jdbc.html
The article shows how JDBC credentials etc may be passed at runtime to a pooled ApplicationModule. The article
currently uses an example where a web client passes the credentials to BC4J. However, this approach could be
extended/replaced with code that queries the credentials from another external source (DB/LDAP/etc).
Hope this helps.

How do I change the http connection type from close to keep-alive

I am using a browser that appears as though it needs a connection type of keep-alive. When a page is requested the server sends back a connection type of close. It appears images are not requested from the server when this connection type is requested.

Some older web server provides inaccurate content-length information.If the content length value is less than the amount of data,the web server treats the difference as a new request, this creates problem with iplanet Web Server.
If you are using browser with HTTP1.1 enabled, choose the option to enable it manually and try once again by posting the request.
Hope it helps.

RAC as the source DB in OWB

Hello there,
I am quite new to OWB and have not encountered any RAC system. My client will migrate to RAC and as such, the source DB in our OWB tables will be affected as well.
How do you set-up in RAC in OWB as the source when there are 2 IP addresses? Can I specify 2 IPs as the hosts? What is the best way to go with it?
Thank you.

How to change the source system for just a datasource

Hi,
Our test/development BI system ( BI 7.0 Unicode ) is connected to our development system and to our test system, 1 BI system connected to 2 R/3 systems.
During some time, the test system won't be available so all datasources that point to the test system must be connected to the development system. In RSA1 is not possible to change the source system in a datasource: RSDS 057
'Creation of DataSources for SAP source system D30CLNT007 is not permitted' , same error trying to copy the datasource,.
Any idea about how to proceed ?
Regards,
Joan

Hi,
If I try to repliclate metadata in the datasource, message RSAR 051 appears: 'error when opening an RFC connection'. This error is expected because the logical system pointed in the datasource does not exist.
Is not possible to change the source system in datasource ( in RSA1 ) because the field is always greyed, also if I try to copy the datasource the message RSDS 057 appears.
Any idea about how to proceed ?
Regards,
Joan

How do I change the IP address of my PC connected to a EA3500 router ?

I have a PC with Windows 7 connected wirelessly to a EA3500 router. How do I change the IP address on my PC ?

What type of ip address were you talking about? Is it the private ip address that the computer gets from a DHCP server/router or the public ip address that the computer gets from your ISP? If you were talking about the private ip address (e.g. 192.168.1.1) then you can easily assign a static ip address to your computer itself. If you were talking about the public ip address then you don’t need to worry of changing the ip address it’s because the ip address will change from time to time.

You can't simply change the details.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
